Stuart Vevers has spent the last five summers crisscrossing the U.S. on Amtrak trains. He's got a bit of the amateur anthropologist about him and no shortage of an expat's enthusiasm, shown in the way he picks up little treasures and ephemera and reinterprets them for Coach.

Today's set was an elevated train track surrounded on two sides by a painting of snow-covered hills: Brooklyn meets the Great Plains. That city-country concept extended to the clothes. The key piece was a black leather biker spliced with an un-dyed shearling sheepherder coat, equal parts cool and sturdy. But there were at least a dozen more jackets that had the winter-weary crowd buzzing, from pixelated plaid barn coats to straight-up Perfectos with "Wanted" or "Nomad" written in script across the back. Outerwear is a natural extension for this American leather goods brand, and Vevers, who hails most recently from Loewe, a Spanish leather goods brand, is doing a bang-up job of it. The coats stomped out on shearling-lined lace-up moto boots. Practical, but not so much so that they didn't stoke desire.

Finding that balance outside of outerwear and accessories is a bit more challenging. Vevers gave it a go with dresses that combined sweatshirt material with silk bandanna patches and prairie prints. The collection's other enticement was its attitude. Skull sweaters, found-object necklaces, and cross-body saddle bags that spelled out "Lucky" skewed young, but you don't have to be in the first blush of youth to have a rebellious streak. The black leather jackets covered with pins had all-ages appeal.
